Italy is world famous for its extraordinary variety of wines, reflecting the diversity of its regions. In Piedmont, red wines such as Barolo and Barbaresco are famous.
The former for its structure, strength and complexity, achieved through long ageing, the latter for its refinement and directness even in its youth. Lombardy is famous for Franciacorta, a sparkling wine of the highest quality, characterised by finesse, flavour and freshness.
Veneto produces some of the world's most famous wines, such as Prosecco, fresh and lively, to be drunk lightly, and Amarone, robust and intense. Tuscany is the home of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino, an elegant red wine to be appreciated with age, developing lively and incisive aromas that represent the region's wine tradition.
Moving south, Taurasi and Falanghina stand out in Campania, while in Puglia Primitivo and Negroamaro are the protagonists, with wines of great body, structure and intense flavour. Sicily, with Nero d'Avola, Marsala and the mineral wines produced in the volcanic areas of Mount Etna, offers a range of wines to satisfy every palate.
Finally, Sardinia is famous for Cannonau, a robust red wine, and Vermentino, a fresh and aromatic white wine. Each Italian region, with its unique climate and terroir, contributes to making Italy a wine lover's paradise.
